Dorsey · Answer 1

Motion for the extension of time for release of evidence

Explanation:

This is a pretrial application made by the prosecuting attorney on behalf of the claimant seeking for an extension of time for the release of evidence by the prime witnesses in order to prove the guilt of the accused person in the commission of the offence of arson.

In otherwords, Eleanor as the prosecuting attorney who has a strong case against the defendant needs time to prove to the court that the defendant is guilty of the offence of arson through the evidence of the prime eye-witnesses who were present at the scene where the offence was committed.
